An unprecedented reduction in PTB of VLBW infants was observed in one health region of Ireland during the COVID-19 lockdown. Potential determinants of this unique temporal trend reside in the summative socio-environmental impact of the COVID-19 dictated lockdown.

Haven't read that article, but say something similar.... Reduction in pre term babies, ie premature babies and low birth rate babies.

I think they were concluding that mothers wfh were getting more rest, restrictions on movement also helped, so babies were fattening up more before birth.
